Once Upon A Time Wall

I miss the days when this club was a lot more active and so many people would participate in polls, countdowns, zanhar1's polls she'd post during the newest episode, the icon contests, and all that. It was so active during the first four seasons and the first half of season 5 (Damn that Hook driving so many people away). It's a shame because season 6 captured a lot of the spirit of season 1. I wish this club was still as active as it used to be. This club is pretty much DEAD!

Drizella is great (Never thought I'd say that) but I prefer Tiana and Alice over her. Gothel is also pretty cool. But yeah, this season really SUCKS! It's a shame because the first six seasons were really good (Minus the Frozen story arc). Season 7 has it's moments and could've worked as it's own spin-off show but is relying too much on being similar to season 1 but has none of the charm and is just a cheap imitation that keeps crapping on it.over a year ago

It's confirmed: Dania Ramirez's character is adult Henry's wife and Lucy's mother, and, intriguingly, a new iteration of Cinderella! I liked her in Heroes (though I know most people didn't like her character, Maya), so I'm looking forward to seeing her in this!
I'm honestly quite excited for this season, this soft reboot sounds interesting.
Also, Seattle IS going to be new "modern" setting! Yay Seattle! Washington pride! :D

I did used to think that they couldn't wrap the show up in season 6 but after watching this episode, I think maybe this would be the right season to do so. Sure, we still haven't gotten the whole Lily's father thing (Let's face it, we know it's gonna be The Dragon) and the whole what happened to Anastasia/The Red Queen but they're really not important to the major plot. I mean, they're facing the greatest evil of all! That's an epic way to end the show! How will they follow up on that?
Posted over a year ago

I have to agree. At least if they renew the show, I think they should wrap up the main characters storylines (as they seem to be doing in the season six finale), and the seventh season (if there is one) should just be about the recurring characters whose storylines got left unfinished, e.g. Ruby and Dorothy, Mulan, Lily and Maleficent, Will and Anastasia, Kathryn, etc.over a year ago

LOVED all the August/Emma in this episode! Always wanted them to get together! (Don't get me wrong, I like CaptainSwan, just not as much as Gremma or Wooden Swan.)
Irritated me that Wish!Robin was able to come through the portal when it can only transport two people. Maybe because none of the Wish Realmers were real, so Wish!Robin doesn't count as a person? Or just the writers not giving a shit about continuity again?
Posted over a year ago

There was actually a sort of discussion on that over on tumblr; I think that the entire episode had a very strong emphasis on be life right from the start. August told Emma she could shape her own fate of she believed in it. That was the whole point of the Ugly Duckling bit and when she believed, she became Enna Swan. I think that the wish realm followed this same theme. After all it is a wish realm and if you have faith in your wishes and dreams they can happen. Hope itself has also been a huge theme this season; one of Gina’s biggest character arcs has been her trying to fix her pessimism and be more hopeful. The whole wish realm helped with that. Plus it was a different wardrobe entirely and was built by a man who said that fate lies in your own hands. And if none of that helps, Robin isn’t meant to stick around anyhow so it doesn’t really matter.over a year ago

Good point about the power of wishes in the Wish Realm, although I still think all the explanations are we fans bending over backwards to plug in holes in the writers' logic. Which is a shame, considering how tight the logic of this show was in the first couple seasons. Ah well.over a year ago

Yeah, honestly I can't even disagree with that anymore lol. I remember when dead was dead; now we have Hook coming back, Robin coming back, pretty sure Rumple came back once or twice, and so on. They just became too lax in their logic.over a year ago

Honestly I think that this is the fault of shipping. Once is my go to example of how shipping can ruin a show. Before CS and OQ (I say this as someone who ships OQ) the show had a much firmer plot and the characters were at their best. The writing wasn't lazy. But then they got way too much into romance and forgot about the other themes like family and hope. This show never used to be completely about romance like it seems to be now. Don't get me wrong I still love this show, but it was definitely at its prime during seasons 1-3.over a year ago

I love Regina because you really don`t know if she`s evil or not. Yeah she changed, but some of the things she does, there`s evil in there. I don`t think she`s that really evil, in fact, Snow and Charming did some horrible things too and they`re still heroes? I don`t get that. Emma was the best evil when she was the dark one, because she really didn`t do anything bad.
Posted over a year ago

Sick of Regina. She did way worse than Zelena and was forgiven. Zelena killed the man she loved for Regina. This just shows Regina's personality. Always blaming the wrong people for her problems. Blaming Snow instead of Cora for Daniel's death, this with her blaming Zelena instead of Hades for Robin's. And TBH, i think the writers just did this for plot. This show has horrible writing sometimes.
Posted over a year ago

I also kind of thing the writers did this for the plot; they need a way to make Zelena evil again or something. I mean she didn't pin things on Emma, she also didn't really blame Marian that one time--hence why I thought we were done with the blaming thing. Either (like you said) the writers are just having a moment of poor writing or they've decided that that's gonna be one of her main character flaws. I'm wanting to say the first of the two because 'xyz character goes evil again' seems to be their go-to plot device. I mean we're seeing it with Rumple for sure. And like you said I'd have rather they made her angry for the whole siding with the Queen thing. Idk I hope they get their shit together in terms of writing Zelena/Regina. Because I feel like Regina's behaving rather out of character when it comes to Zelena.over a year ago

Maybe someone already suggested is, and I'm sure many of you have the same idea, but what if the person who kills Emma in that vision, is Emma herself? Maybe we're not supposed to take the vision literally.
Posted over a year ago

That's kind of what I was thinking; like she's trying so so hard to prevent/change the future that she ends up taking herself down. We've seen her mess up the past, I can see her doing the same for the future. And we've had plot lines like that before; Regina & Rumple have both caused their downfalls at one point. So why not write Emma doing the same.?over a year ago

Everyone, the workshop for the club icon, background, and banner is now open. The deadline for the banner is longer than the other two. Please submit your choices as soon as possible so we can have a variety of choices.

Hey guys, since Once Upon A Time is coming back on September 25, which is just a month away, I have a question to ask concerning the club's new look. When do you guys think would be a good time to start the contests for the new club banner, icon, and background? I know for the banner we have to wait for screencaps of the main cast in season 6, but how long do we wait on that? Do we give people 3-5 weeks after the season premiere to make the banner? *continues to type in comments*
Posted over a year ago

Do we wanna start the icon and the background contest before we do the banner or do them at the same time? After all, we'll need screencaps of the characters in season 6 and it'll probably take people a while to make their own banner. But it also does take a while for the banner to change, so the club might not match the current season theme for most of the first 11 episodes (Usually how long these story arks are). What do you guys think?over a year ago

I would say that the best idea would be to wait 4 weeks like you thought. 4 Weeks is a nice in between; that way we have more images to work with and a better idea on what fits the theme. And I think the banner/icon should be done first to make sure everything looks good together.over a year ago

Season 6 isn't going to have half season arcs; it's one arc for the whole season with smaller subplot arcs to be resolved in an episode or two ;) So we can't have a banner for a 1st half & a 2d because they'll be nonexistent. But we can have a banner for the beginning of the season (like first 4-5 eps in) and one final; after the whole season ends. (and HQ promo pics are usually released on Tuesdays, the week when the episode airs)..over a year ago

YAY Karen David has been cast as Jasmine! Loved her on Galavant, miss that show so much, so I'm so glad she'll be returning to our screens in another fairy tale show! :D
Although I don't know why they recast Jafar when they already had him on OUATIW. Why not just get Naveen Andrews to come back?
Posted over a year ago

I'm excited for the new season of OUAT but what I don't understand is why they're adding Jafar again when they already did a segment about him OUAT in Wonderland if anyone knows why would you please care to explain because it doesn't make any sense to me.

This is a quick question guys. How old is Regina? And Zelena? Because Regin was born in 1937 and Snow in 1956. that makes Regina 19 years older than Snow. emma was born in 1983, making Snow 27 when Emma was born, and making REgina 46 when the cure was enacted. And since Zelena was born in 1935, two years before Regina, Zelena would be 48 when the curse was enacted. Is this information wrong or right? Can anyone tell me? And if it is how is this possible? They look younger.

Guys, I realized that I missed one episode this season (Ruby Slippers) and I want to see it but I don't know how. They don't have it on the ABC website so I was wondering where you guys go to watch episodes you missed. Netflix doesn't have the full season yet either, last time I checked. Is there a website that has full episodes of shows for free, because I can never find any episodes for live action shows, that's why I barely ever watch those types of shows because they also never rerun them.
Posted over a year ago

*Spoilers ahead* I am so freaking mad. They kill Robin and bring Hook back in his place??? >.> Like wow. The only reason I was even remotely okay with them killing Robin is because I'd at least have the possibility of SQ to fall back on. But nah, I and probably other Gina fans don't even get that.
100% done.
Until next week.
Posted over a year ago

You had to know that they were going to find some way to bring back Hook. Why Robin had to die was just so unfair! I just hope Regina doesn't go back to being the Evil Queen. Although, to be fair this makes Regina losing two love interests, same as Emma (not counting Hook) and one of them was even killed by Regina. I wish they didn't kill him! Also, I hope this doesn't turn you away from the show for good. I so enjoy our talks about Once Upon A Time and being excited during the new episodes. Although, as a Regina fan, I absolutely do NOT ship Swan Queen because of the fact that they're related.over a year ago

I mean I saw it coming but that changes nothing. I am salty af and my jimmies are rustled to the max. I swear they just like using evil Gina as a plot line to fall back on. And poor Roland! I'm not gonna drop the show until Regina is killed off or something like that. But Imma stare bitterly at the screen next weekend the whole time.over a year ago

I have made a forum to help make the club icon, banner, and background contests be more organized. Please read the rules and guidelines and if you think there is anything I should add to improve these guidelines and rules to be fair, please let me know! I hope this helps make things more organized and everyone can be happy!

I just watched the latest episode of OUAT (I know, it's a little late) and is by far my favorite episode in the season so far. I'm actually starting to like Zelena, a character I used to hate. Her daughter is actually making me think there still is good in her. I really can't wait to see more of her!
Posted over a year ago

I've always loved Zelena and thought she was a complex, fun, interesting, and sympathetic character. I've always thought she loved her daughter and this episode has just proven that I was right! I'm glad to hear that you're starting to like her! I can't wait to see more of her either.over a year ago

It looks like soon the background will be changing again. It'll be the forest opening you see at the beginning of every episode, at least it looks like it will be. The icon will also probably change to match the Underworld theme and hopefully the banner will change soon!over a year ago

Hey guys I just created a Hades and Zelena club and I hope you guys will join and if anyone would like to create any banners or icons I'm totally up for suggestions thanks so much here is the link. linkPosted over a year ago

My grandma just asked me to explain the relationship between Gina, Robin, and Zelena. And I accidentally told her that Zelena got Robin pregnant (instead of the other way around)! Omg!

If you liked Peter Pan in OUAT, you will love the new book, "Wendy Darling: A Novel" By Colleen Oakes. It's a retelling of peter pan from wendy's POV. Both Wendy and Peter are 16, and John is 14 in the novel. I just wanted to recommend it.

So far I'm loving Once Upon a Time season 5! I like it much better than season 4. I'm glad I didn't give up on this show, I almost gave up but decided to give it another chance & I'm glad I did!
Posted over a year ago

Who created this club because we really need to change the icon and the banner for season 5 already! We planned to change it for the second half of season 4 but we never did. We need to do it for this season with all 10 of the current regulars and change the icon to the current theme.

My favorite characters are Elsa, Hook, and Regina!! I think that everyone on the banner should have a better picture! Mostly Regina, Elsa, Hook (Because he has way cuter pictures!), Charming, and maybe Snow White.

Hey guys! So I'm meeting Victoria/Cruella (again) in August and I'm making a letter/collage thing of why the fans love her and her character. I know that a lot of you on here love her so if you have anything you'd like me to put, just inbox me with a little message for her, explaining why you love her, and your full name so they know who it's from. I'll also be asking people from twitter to participate too.

I was looking at clips of Emma Rigby (The Red Queen/Anastasia Tremaine) in the show Hollyoaks and I can definitely see why she got awards for her acting in this show. DANG! Her accent was definitely thicker here (although it could just be her crying that makes it hard to understand) and I had to reply parts and listen closely. JUST DANG! She's a BRILLIANT actress!

I just watched the ending of Operation Moongoose Part 2 (the season finale) and I can't speak in coherent sentences. I need season 5 NOW. I CAN'T EVEN. IT WAS TOO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN AGAGAGHAGAGAGHH

I've noticed that there are two of us now making polls as the show airs, so there have been a lot of double polls. Just wanted to kind of apologize for that if it seems spammy. Problem is I want to keep making polls and I definitely don't want to tell the other user to stop because I'm not the master of this spot by any means. I just wanted to apologize to anyone who may be bothered by the poll duplicates.
Posted over a year ago

^ Technically I believe you are wrong since the "Smash the Mirror" episode is considered as a sole episode despite its double duration since it was aired as a 2-hour special! So if we consider this to be the 8th episode & keep counting on then season 4 ends in episode 22.over a year ago

I keep on noticing more and more similarities between Emma Swan and Odette from The Swan Princess/Swan Lake, despite the fact that it's not Disney. Lily just helps with this a lot. In Swan Lake, Rothbart had a daughter named Odile that was Odette's age. Odile used magic to turn herself into Odette to get the Prince to make the vow to her instead of Odette. At the ball she showed up in a black dress, to contrast with Odette's white dress *continues to type in comments*
Posted over a year ago

Odile has been referred to as the black swan, which also inspired the film Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. So Emma Swan, who is full of goodness is Odette, the white swan and Lily is Odile, the black swan. Am I the only one who noticed this?over a year ago

^ Yeah, I was so excited when I heard that Will would be joining OUAT because he was frankly the only good thing about OUATIW, but he has just been completely wasted. Less Will and Belle rebounding from their respective relationships and more explaining what the hell Will is doing in Storybrooke and what happened to/with Anastasia!over a year ago

Am the only one who thinks that Snow looks funny and ridiculous in Evil Queen's costume? She looks is like clown. (Sorry Snow's fans)
Let's see this next episode. It is promising.

Ps. It would be such a great cliff end, if all the villains get brought back together (Cora, Cruella, Ursula, Zelena, Maleficent, Evil Queen, Rumple, Hook...), but that would be too good to be true. :( :P
Posted over a year ago

Well, that's kind of the point. She's out of character, so she's supposed to look ridiculous as the Evil Queen. I mean, just say these words without cracking up "Snow White, the Evil Queen." As for that last part, yeah, not gonna happen. This show maybe a fanfic come to life but it still has standards and can't go to doing something like that, which a lot of bad fanfics do.over a year ago

Well, that definalty not suits her. Honestly, the idea is stupid to me, but we will see what is gonna happend. About the second thing...Still, it would be a great part. That would definantly force me to wait 5th season. But sadly, writters have a gift in killing a good villains.over a year ago

Any word yet if Once has been renewed- you would think they would have let us know by now.? This season started off boring and is now interesting IMO, but Im missing some episodes for that reason I dont know which ones will be good or not.
Posted over a year ago

I knew it, crazed Cruella fans are going to hate Emma because she killed their precious Cruella. NEWS FLASH! She was threatening to kill Henry (HER FREAKING SON) and didn't know that Cruella couldn't kill. It was either Cruella (Emma's enemy) or Henry (her son)! If any of you were in her shoes, what would you do? You all know that Regina would do the same, she even suggested killing Cruella when they found out she kidnapped Henry.
Posted over a year ago

I hate Adam and Eddy for removing Cruella. They could write a better story. Cruella rocks! Yes she was a psyho, but right now, this type of villain that Once needs right now. Also, i think she deserved a happy ending (like all villains).over a year ago

I would love to see more of her but I think the fact that she has a mental disorder that made her a sociopath that never got treatment because of her mother is passable. But you should also blame Gold because this was his plan for Cruella all along, knowing her history with the author and using it to make Emma go dark.over a year ago

Does anyone know any good OUAT fan pages on Facebook? Currently the only OUAT fan page I've liked is Once Upon A Time Fans so I'm looking for some other good ones ^^
I'm an Evil Regal if it matters, but any OUAT fan page would be cool!
Posted over a year ago

This is gonna offend mRumple's fans, but i have to say that he is a person that LEAST deserves his happy ending on this show. He manipulites, he betrays everyone (even those closest to him). When Belle kicked him out of Storybrooke, i said "Well done, Belle! You deserve better!
She gave him all her love, and he still chooses power.
Other villains like Regina, Ingrid, Maleficent, Ursula, Cruella,... They have a soft side and thwey wouldnt betrey those closest to him. But Rumple did!
Posted over a year ago

I still believe he deserves a happy ending, he did all of those things for a reason as all of the other villains did. He just wants to be with Belle and have his happy ending, you have to have sympathy for him he lost his only son, he was all he had left besides Belle and now he lost her.over a year ago

@magichand which also means that she almost got killed by the giant marshmallow...which means she said that Gina wasn't a monster...which means she made Regina feel good about herself lol. @Kataralover Exactly, it was a really smart plan...but I don't think she accounted for that lol. That's a good point, about the heart.over a year ago

I can't decide if I love Emma or Regina more! I know zanny is going to say Regina FTW, but that's not enough. I mean Emma is a well-developed, interesting, enjoyable, and even complex character. But Regina is also all of those things but is more developed and complex, though I find Emma just as enjoyable and interesting. How I will decide this is how Emma is when she's evil, let's see if she can compare to Regina for me. Now let's just hope she becomes evil, so I can decide.
Posted over a year ago

I'm afraid that's not how it works. I stopped loving Rumple and so far nothing has happened. But Regina's fandom is far more powerful because while Rumple's popularity has lessened this season, hers only grows. So you're powers, Queen of the Evil Regals, have no effect on me. Regina's many fans are enough to keep me going. The only possible way to get me to love Regina more is by darkening the Savior's heart and seeing how I feel about it. So until that time, your powers are of no use you're majesty.over a year ago
